<P>Sets charset for list files.</P>

<H4>Syntax</H4>

<PRE class="syntax">
-scs{UTF-8 | UTF-16LE | UTF-16BE | WIN | DOS | {id} }
</PRE>

<P>Default charset is UTF-8.</P>

<TABLE>
  <TR><TH> Value </TH> <TH> Description </TH></TR>
  <TR><TD> UTF-8    </TD> <TD> Unicode UTF-8 character set. </TD></TR>
  <TR><TD> UTF-16LE </TD> <TD> Unicode UTF-16 little-endian character set. </TD></TR>
  <TR><TD> UTF-16BE </TD> <TD> Unicode UTF-16 big-endian character set. </TD></TR>
  <TR><TD> WIN      </TD> <TD> Default character set of Windows. </TD></TR>
  <TR><TD> DOS      </TD> <TD> Default DOS (OEM) character set of Windows. </TD></TR>
  <TR><TD> {id}     </TD> <TD> The code page number (as specified in Microsoft Windows). </TD></TR>
</TABLE>

<P>Notes: The list file in Unicode charset can start with the BOM (byte order mark) character (U+FEFF).
   In that case 7-Zip checks that encoding of BOM corresponds to encoding
   specified with this switch (for UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE).</P>
